" But now she is done doing the support thing for me, but I am not done supporting her. " _______________________________________________________________
The old double edged sword. When spouses divorce, not only do they rid themselves of the other's bad behaviors, but also of the good things as well. Courts understand this but it is NOT considered as courts are to make decisions based on the laws passed by the legislature of their state. Your ex will be denied some of the good things you brought into the marriage as well. She didn't marry you ONLY because you could provide. There's more to it than that. If you're feeling it is unfair, it really isn't. It is an adjustment going from being half of a couple to being a single person again. If you'd rather not pay SS (alimony) and want to fight it, then do so. You will end up paying some, IMO. How much and how long depends on the quality of argument you put before the court and the judge.
